Clear Solos/Mutes

By Steve Bissinger @sbiss2018-10-29 21:30:19.403Z

This would be the equivalent of clicking on the solo button in the main counter section of the PT header (under the start - end - length display), that clears all solos. I don't do it much, but I'm sure it would be useful to have a similar command to clear all mutes.

    Agreed that would be nice to have built in.

    For now you can do it with this custom script:

    sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
sf.ui.proTools.mainWindow.counterDisplay.mouseClickElement({
    relativePosition: { x: 299, y: 67 }
});

        And here's the equivalent for the clear mutes.

        sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

var muteBtn = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.buttons.getByTitle('Mute');
var wasMuted = muteBtn.value.value === 'on state';
if (!wasMuted) {
    muteBtn.elementClick();
    for (var i = 0;; i++) {
        sf.wait({ intervalMs: 50 });
        if (muteBtn.invalidate().value.value === 'on state') break;
        if (i == 9) throw 'Could not mute selected track to allow us to unmute all';
    }
}
muteBtn.mouseClickElement({ isOption: true });

            As far as I could replicate, "Clear Mutes" works only if at least one audio track is selected, doesn't matter with one...

              @Misch_Tonmeister yes your analysis sounds right.

            Awesome! Thanks!

            FYI, everything has been very stable for me. Still loving the marker navigation, among many other things :)

                Hey Christian. This is a great script, but as you might know, it does not work if something is covering the main counter (like a plugin). I just tried it to confirm. It seems this could be solved if the solo button in the main counter could be viewed as its own UI element, but I haven't found a way to make that happen. Let me know if you have a solution. Thanks.

                  Hi Jon,

                  I think the only solution, for now, would be to hide or move any floating windows before invoking the command.
